Former Alabama safety takes swipe at LSU's new defensive coordinator

Jon Cooper | 9 years ago

Alabama and LSU have created one of college football’s best rivalries, and it’s usually the country’s most physical game every year.

Former Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix just completed his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers. But that didn’t stop Clinton-Dix from taking a swipe at his former coach, Kevin Steele, who just happens to be LSU’s new defensive coordinator. Steele was Alabama’s Director of Player Personnel in Clinton-Dix’s final year in Tuscaloosa.

Kevin Steele defensive coordinator for LSU? last-time he was a DC he got 70 points scored on him. ?

Steele left Alabama, where he was the Crimson Tide’s linebackers coach, before taking the LSU job. And the game Clinton-Dix is referring to was the 2012 Orange Bowl, where Steele’s Clemson Tigers’ defense gave up 595 total yards and 70 points to West Virginia.

Ouch.
